Hi all,
After 30yrs in corporate middle management I am considering starting a business or buying a business. I've managed people, customers, sales & marketing, managed budgets and P&L's to a certain extent, but not been exposed to running a small business as a whole. I'm not looking specifically for financial or strictly business advice - but more looking at how can I explore this area more and look to educate and prepare myself for maybe making this step in the future? Is there a good source of business groups or forums that I could find for small businesses in Ireland? Is there good courses anywhere - online or in person that people would recommend?
I've done the Youtube stuff with various entrepreneurial content, but looking at something more practical and specific to Ireland. I don't know what I don't know as yet, so apologies if this come across quite vague.
Thanks in advance
